It's a picture(more a poster) that the french editors of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood (Dybex and Kurokawa) gave during the last Japan Expo in Paris (in July). It's for celebrating the 10 millions of watchers on Dailymotion where the episods were broadcasted. I think I've got it twice

Hi, shanryelric,

Volume 27 cover

Original-Art/Illustration book for FMA:B

Check them out and join the discussions there!

I think we all agree ;P

http://photozou.jp/photo/show/636742/54375505 A cute drawing made by FMA:B animator.

That's such a sweet picture Kasumisty! Though almost odd seeing them in that pose in those clothes...if that makes any sense.

Aaaaw that's a really wonderful picture- I love the colouring! Winry's smile looks so sweet.

Thank you, Kasmisty!

According to the note at the bottom, it's for his friend during the high-school who is getting married, and both of the would-be hubby and the wife are FAM fan.


So cute!


Btw, I found out that he is none other than 亀田祥倫 Mr. Kameda, the guy who is probably working on FMA movie?
(Thank you, Kasumisty, for checking his Twiiter! ^^)

And, the note says the couple did not know he was working for FMA anime, and they were watching FMA:B and surprised to see his name popped up during the credit. ..small world!

Oh, and his recent Twitter had Arakawa-sensei's name, so I dug little deeper, and found out that he was conversing with other FMA person about the news that the total number of sales of FMA manga Volume books (Japanese) will pass over 5,000,000 copies.
I found that news (in Japanese) on Yahoo.jp from their Twiits.

ETA: Oct 29, 2010

Mr. Kameda twiitted on Oct. 22 that he drew Ed, and separately, Riza for some kind of cards that's coming out from Bonez, although he's not quite sure those are for Bonez. These seem to be part of some kind of full-cast card stuff... though he nor the other one on the conversation were not sure exactly what they're for. xp

(Yes, we are desperate for any new FMA news. XDD)

It's not much, but I found this on animepaper (end-game spoilers!): http://www.animepaper.net/gallery/scans/Fu...ist/item301068/

A couple of details I see as I read the Yahoo news more carefully. ^^

QUOTE

マンガ「鋼の錬金術師」のシリーズ累計発行部数が5000万部を突破することが確実になった。11月22日発売の最終27巻の初回出荷分が決まり、発売と同時に大台に達する。スクウェア・エニックス発行のマンガで、5000万部の大台を突破するのは初めて。

　「鋼の錬金術師」は荒川弘さんが01年から「月刊少年ガンガン」で連載を始めたマンガ。錬金術が科学のように発達した世界で、母を生き返らせるため禁じられた「人体錬成」に挑んで失敗し、体を奪われたエドとアルの兄弟が、失った体を取り戻すため「賢者の石」を探す旅に出て、国家規模で展開する陰謀に気付き、敢然と立ち向かう……というストーリー。03〜04年、09〜10年にMBS・TBS系でアニメ化され、2回目の劇場版アニメ化（公開時期未定）も発表されている。

1. The official sales volume of FMA manga volume books WILL (not yet, but it will.. when vol 27 gets officially released on Nov. 22, 2010 in Japan,) surpass 50,000,000 copies. This will be the first time any manga from Square Enix gets sales volume of over Fifty million copies.

2. The bottom part of the news mention that it has been announced that there will be a second animation motion picture of FMA.
(Note: they are talking about the FMAmovie that's coming in 2011, as that would be considered as the second FMA movie after the CoS move. ^^)

..This is the first time I see any news media clearly stating that this new FMA movie is going to be an ANIMATION motion picture.

Cheers me up, reading they still haven't forgotten about this movie and confirming it's an animation! Now only wait for a poster or anything that will be posted about this movie.

^^Slightly confused, does this mean there will be an ADDITIONAL animated movie after the 2011 one? Or that the 2011 film is the second FMA animated film overall?

also, thanks for the info! :-D I can't wait for more info to come out <3

(posted on Nov. 1, 2010, post merged on Nov. 10, 2010) ^ @DistantBlue - Gahaha, that woudl be awesome, but no.. the one they are talking about is the movie that's coming out in 2011 (the one we've been waiting for for more new info. ^^)...that will be considered as the second FMA anime movie, after the first one (CoS).

===

There will be a special edition magazine focusing on FMA manga & Arakawa, from Eureika magazine, a magazine for professional audience, coming out on Nov. 27, 2010!! (see below ^^)

Posted by hilary today, in FMA manga forum.


Check out more on New Special Edition Magazine for FMA & Arakawa, commemorating the conclusion of FMA manga! thread.

5 million? O_o That doesn't seem like a lot... I know Wiki is not 100% reliable, but it says sales had passed 30 million in March 2008. Maybe this meant 50 million...? Or they anticipate 5 million copies of Volume 27 alone to be sold...? Just confused, lol. XD

According to Google translator 5000万 is 50 millions.

And this article from ANN also says that it's 50 million.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-...-million-served

FMA totally deserved it, it's one of the best series.

http://gangan.square-enix.co.jp/next/image...next_101011.jpg some kind of Hagaren watch is mentioned in the newest Shounen Magazine.

Thank you, Kasmisty! Judging from what's written in the scan, they are calling it as "Haganetch (= Hagane + watch?)" and it comes with mini FMA anime, some simple FMA games, etc. It will be available for two months, and everyone who applies can get it, but there will be some cost/fees to pay. More details in the magazine, I assume.

Oops, that was my typo/error, and yes, it's supposed to have said 50,000,000 copies.
Thank you so much, allykatty1 for catching it, and Kasumisty & Michiyo- for confirming it!! Appreciated!
Just corrected it. ^^

According to Gangan December issue, a supplement or something of the movie will be in Gangan January issue.
Maybe it'll be out in December 11th.
I don't know what it is, but the typical case is the advertising poster with the new picture for the movie.

Sounds promising, I wonder what it will look like.

Thank you, Mellow! ^^ Kasumisty posted this in FMA:Brotherhood Movie thread and it's being discussed there, so, I moved your post there also.

Everyone please continue this discussion on FMA:Brotherhood Movie thread. ^^

There's more info about the watch on the Gangan site:
http://gangan.square-enix.co.jp/special/tsubuyaki/

Thank you, Michiyo-!
It says the watch has 5 different games, and you play games to earn points, and then use these points to watch mini anime that are about one minutes in length and there are 20 different anime.

I've found some news regarding FMA merchandise:

http://tieba.baidu.com/f?z=933065508&c...%CA%A6&pn=0

There is something about the picture and it also seems that one may be able to buy State Alchemist watch for 60,000 yen.

^ I posted this news in the FMA Merchandise thread, and Tombow translated the details about how to get them.

http://www.hagaren.jp/news/index.html Some news

Thank you, Kasumisty!

from the official site


It says that the popular MMORPG site Mabinogi (JP) now has FMA:Brotherhood characters: Ed, Al, Winry, Izumi, Roy, Alex, etc.

For details visit Mabinogi site.
(Unfortunately my Net connection is having trouble loading up this site, but I will try checking it again later. ^^)

From links to new magazine scans posted by Kasumisty on here:

On Dec. 23, 2010, on GamGan jp site, they will post a new FMA mini-novel,
It will be a kind of comical story on Havoc and the Roy gang, by Mr. Inoue, who has written some other FMA novels also.
In the story, Havoc is ordered to move from East City to Central, and he is in a danger of losing his love interest/girl friend in East City if he moves to Central, so he asks Roy for help (..bad move xddd) and the comical story ensues (I guess ^^) ....

<Double post with justice. This post will be merged shortly>

<Program Note>


Moved Kasumisty's post & A Pierrot's Aria's reply post to to FMA Merchandise thread.

The novel is up on Gangan Online:
http://www.square-enix.com/jp/magazine/gan...SWF_Window.html

It's 50 pages long, so it'll take a while for anyone to translate it. I hope someone will do it, I'm really interested in this story about Roy-tachi.

the mini novel will be out printed?

^ Thank you, Michiyo-! And, it has 50 pages? Ouch. >.< Currently I have a huge back-log of "to-be-translated" material. I hope some ambitious FMA fan with translating skills can at least give us some synopsis or something, or we may have to wait till it gets officially translated.


Possibly eventually. Could become part of a newer FMA novel book as a secondary novel? (I'm guessing. )

But, for now, it's only on GanGan site.

I dunno whether this should be here or not:

Edo!

Awesome! But at the same time, he looks pretty strange. oO

Thanks for sharing, RaphieL!

EDIT 8/02/11. Nothing too important, but a web page the FMA festival is up.

Any one else heard about a doujinshi "Fullmetal Staff Magazine" made by the brotherhood staff?

I have the link to the site with pics of some of the magazine contents but some of the pics there are not PG13 and hence I can't post the link here. If anyone is not minor and would like to have the link, ask me for the link by PM.

^It's from the "Fullmetal Staff Magazine." I don't know much about it, but I think it contains the drawings of the Brotherhood staff.

Here's the cover and some other pics.
